Your Wheelbase

July 20th, 2011

Do you know about the wheelbase when it comes to your factory Scion wheels like I do? If not, no worries – let me get to the explaining of it.

The wheelbase of any car and any set of rims that come on a Scion (or whatever car you have) is the measurement that’s from the center of the front wheel to the center of the rear wheel. So if you have any type of car in your surroundings, you’d measure from the front centercap to the rear centercap. I think it’s easy enough to understand.

Since so many manufacturers want to increase the wheelbase on OE Scion rims and other vehicles, some of these producers have designed chassis that put the wheels closer to the ends of the car.
